The large number OF very costly fires
during the past few months have been Sc
riously felt by the insurance companies
which have paid the losses. The total
amount of losses for the past six months
has been greatly in excess of those for
any like period. The incendiary origin
of many of them and the increased liabli-
ity to companies, arising from innumer-
able causes, tend to raise the rates OF in
surance and to narrow the conditions and
limitations OF policies.

Next week occurs the election in Texas
and the country will await the result with
great interest. The contest has been al
most wholly confined to the temperance
issue. Party lines have been nearly
obliterated and for once there seems to be
a fair chance for an honest count, because
of the favorable attitude of many OF the
prominent democrats. toward prohibition
thus dividing the democratic party. The

The Ohio Republican Convention.

The whole proceedings of the Ohio
republican convention afford marked
and commendable contrast to those of the
democratic convention of last week. The
harmony of its members, and the enthusi-
as,ic support of party principles. were
features of great importance they indicate
a singleness OF purpose. which is indica-
tive of still greater success at the COM
inc election. This favorable condition OF
the party is partly due to the achievements
of legislation accomplished during the
present gubernstorial administration, and
the denomination of Gov. Foraker is the
sealing act of party approval. The plat
form is what could only be expected and
contains sound republican planks. 1t de-
clares strongly, plainly and periodically.
on the important issues of the day. and
especially on the obtaining and maintain
ing by the government,free and fair elec-
tons, on the tariff, on the treatment OF
the soldiers and their dependents, and on
civil service. The treatment OF the immi-
grafton question is honest and sensible,
The criticism OF the democratic party is
severe and the condemnation Of the Presi-
dent, Just. 1t is q very able document.
The endorsement of Senator Sherman

So great indignation was caused by
the order issued by the officers
of the International Encampment
which is TO be held at Chicago, ex-
GLIDING colored troops, that the order has
been revoked and an apology offered. Gen.
Bently assumes personal responsibility for
the order and says that he issued it to pre-
vent any such disturbances as were ex-
perienced during the recent encampment
at Washington. Commenting upon this
explanation the Chicago Evening Journal
says:

The seizure of the New Gloucester fish
ing schooners by the Canadian government
is clearly a renewal of last years acts oil
violence. It indicates the continued pur
pose of forcing the United States Govern
ment into making reciprocity treaty.
The de gree of determination to accomplish
that result is shown by prosecutions on
the slightest technicalities In fact it is
positively denied that the schooners taken
were violating any regulations. There
was exhibited also in this seizure spirit
which can hardly be credited to civilized
people. The men captured with the seine
boats. in a half naked condition, were not
allowed to procure clothes and were not
furnished any but we're compelled to pass
the night with no adequate protection
against the cold. 1t is claimed by COM
eetept officials that these acts come with
in the provisions of the retaliatory law
that the statute was intended to prevent
these very acts, whether so expressed IN
exact language or not. The evidence is
sufficient. The duty OF the President now
is 10 enforce the retaliatory measures pro-
vded Tor these very outrages. He should
do 30 not only in obedience to law but to
